¹And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

¹Ja kui inimesi hakkas maa peal palju saama ja neile sündis tütreid,

²That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

²siis nägid Jumala pojad, et inimeste tütred olid ilusad, ja nad võtsid enestele naisi kõigist neist, keda nad välja valisid.

³And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

³Aga Issand ütles: 'Minu Vaim ei pea igavesti jääma inimesse, sest ta on ikkagi ainult liha. Olgu ta elupäevi sada kakskümmend aastat!'

⁴There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

⁴Sel ajal, ja veel pärastpoolegi, kui Jumala pojad heitsid inimeste tütarde juurde ja need neile lapsi ilmale tõid, olid hiiglased maa peal: needsamad vägimehed, kes muistsest ajast on kuulsad mehed.

⁵And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁵Kui Issand nägi, et inimese kurjus maa peal oli suur ja kõik ta südame mõtlemised iga päev üksnes kurjad,

⁶And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

⁶siis Issand kahetses, et ta inimese oli teinud maa peale, ja ta süda valutas.

⁷And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

⁷Ja Issand ütles: 'Ma tahan inimese, kelle ma olen loonud, maa pealt kaotada, niihästi inimesed kui loomad ja roomajad ja taeva linnud, sest ma kahetsen, et ma nad olen teinud!'

⁸But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

⁸Aga Noa leidis armu Issanda silmis.

⁹These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

⁹See on jutustus Noa soost: Noa oli üks õige mees, täiesti vaga oma rahvapõlve seas; Noa kõndis koos Jumalaga.

¹⁰And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹⁰Ja Noale sündis kolm poega - Seem, Haam ja Jaafet.

¹¹The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹¹Aga maa oli Jumala palge ees raisku läinud ja vägivald täitis maad.

¹²And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

¹²Ja Jumal vaatas maad, ja näe, see oli raisku läinud, sest kõik liha maa peal oli oma eluviisides raiskunud.

¹³And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

¹³Ja Jumal ütles Noale: 'Ma olen otsustanud teha lõpu kõigele lihale, sest maa on täis nende vägivalda, ja seepärast, vaata, ma hävitan nemad koos maaga.

¹⁴Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

¹⁴Tee enesele laev goferipuust; laev tee kambritega ja pigita seda seest ning väljast maapigiga!

¹⁵And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

¹⁵Ja tee see nõndaviisi: laeva pikkus olgu kolmsada küünart, laius viiskümmend küünart ja kõrgus kolmkümmend küünart;

¹⁶A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

¹⁶valmista see küünramõõdu järgi; tee laevale katus peale ja tee uks laeva küljesse; tee sellele alumine, keskmine ja ülemine lagi!

¹⁷And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

¹⁷Sest vaata, ma saadan veeuputuse maa peale ja hävitan taeva alt kõik liha, kus eluvaim sees on; kõik, mis maa peal on, peab hinge heitma!

¹⁸But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

¹⁸Aga sinuga ma teen lepingu ja sina pead minema laeva, sina ja su pojad, su naine ja su poegade naised sinuga.

¹⁹And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

¹⁹Ja sa pead viima laeva kõigist elavaist olendeist, kõigest lihast, igast liigist kaks, et nad koos sinuga jääksid elama: need olgu isane ja emane.

²⁰Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

²⁰Lindudest nende liikide järgi ja loomadest nende liikide järgi, kõigist roomajaist maa peal nende liikide järgi, kõigist peavad kaks tulema sinu juurde, et nad võiksid jääda elama.

²¹And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

²¹Ja sina võta enesele kõigest roast, mida süüakse, ja kogu enese juurde, et see oleks toiduks sinule ja neile.'

²²Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

²²Ja Noa tegi kõik. Nii nagu Jumal teda käskis, nõnda ta tegi.
